In recent years, as a unanimous optimism about the new energy automobile industry, there has been significant development under the support of the state, the efforts of car companies, and the acceptance of consumers. In 2021, the production and sales of new energy vehicles will exceed 3.5 million units, ranking first in the world for seven consecutive years. From January to March this year, production and sales of new energy vehicles totaled 1.293 million units and 1.257 million units, respectively, up 1.4 times year-on-year. However, when rapid development and sales soar, we must also see that the safety risks of new energy vehicles still exist.
Compared with the lack of cores and poor sales, the most feared thing about new energy vehicles now is "spontaneous combustion". What is afraid is spontaneous combustion, and what cannot be avoided is also spontaneous combustion. According to the media summary, in April this year, in just one week, 5 spontaneous combustion accidents of new energy vehicles have been reported. In the past two years, there have been many accidents of spontaneous combustion and fire of new energy vehicles of different brands and different models, and there have been a total of 86 fire accidents of new energy vehicles that have been reported, which is equivalent to an average of about once a week. This year is only in April, according to the latest data given by the Fire and Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management on April 3 this year, there are 640 new energy vehicle fires this year, up 32% year-on-year, equivalent to an average of 7 new energy vehicles spontaneously combusting every day.
But the development of a new thing always has a gradual progress, not to mention a large industry like new energy vehicles, any component, the operation of the owner, even the charging pile, the weather temperature may cause spontaneous combustion. We can't deny the entire new energy automobile industry and some car companies because of these. If you want to solve the problem of spontaneous combustion, national norms, the improvement of car company technology, and the popularization of car owner knowledge, we need to work together to solve it, and I believe that new energy vehicles will get better and better!
